Payton FINDS WAYS to win, his players know this and play the same..............they find ways to win. The Falcons have a "Golfers" mentality and toughness. Soft gentlemen. They would make nice next door neighbors.

Yeah, he whines about the only CALLED hold. They were holding fairly often, just got caught once. I love how a "clearly inferior team" owns your team. Also, how many Superbowls has that clearly superior team won? Falcons are a joke of an organization with delusional fans.

quote:There's no way around it and no moral victories. Their offense couldn't run, and our corners did pretty good shutting down what is, for most teams, average receivers. Their defense is a worse lineup than last year full of players that don't even fit their scheme. Yet our o-line got manhandled by a bunch of backups, we couldn't run outside of one nice play, and the defense was leaving people wide open in the middle. The Saints are probably a .500 team at best this year, we can't have these losses anymore

Now, here's a post that's funny as hell:

"Coach Smith's unedited Post-game comments: first off thank all 3 of you for coming. we'd like to first look at the positives. We're really thankful that saints safety vaccaro didn't injure himself as he drove his shoulder through our qb's body,we were realy glad vaccaro is fine. also we we glad the saints d linemen passed by our oline with no injuries since there was never any cotact from our part,another blessing for our friends ,the saints. also a positive not to be overlooked was all the quality nap time mr breeze was able to get in his pocket today.anyway we WERE able to get alot of positives out of this game and look forward to doing the same next week...who are we playing??? oh the rams,ok then."

I love how he points to Falcon mistakes, but ignores the 2 holding penalties (one of which was total horse shit) in the redzone after the Stills reception.

He also ignores that Brees was still able to shred their D while having a less than stellar performance (under throwing a couple deep balls and putting balls behind his receivers instead of leading them, especially on that INT). If he wants to If and but, then I'll do the same, and the Saints would win 37-17 at least.
